More than 50% of IPV is reciprocal - each partner is a victim and a perpetrator.

Among non-reciprocal IPV about 2/3 is perpetrated by women.

Lesbians have higher rates of IPV than heterosexual couples. Gay men have lower rates than heterosexual couples.

Women are also more likely to be controlling in relationships.

One of the key indicators of whether a woman will be a victim of IPV is whether she is a perpetrator of IPV.

Being younger is a risk factor in IPV. Less older people commit IPV.

Lower education levels are a risk factor.

Women are more likely to experience severe injuries.

By ignoring the prevalence of reciprocal IPV the mainstream approach prevents effective interventions as it discounts the need to intervene with violent women. This will contribute to the continuation of reciprocal IPV and actually make it more likely that the women involved will be injured. By ignoring reciprocal IPV the mainstream approach contributes to violence against women.
